Birds of the Sanctuary: Rose-Breasted Grosbeak

A member of the Cardinal family, the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak is a fairly common resident of the greater northeast US. This is a male;
the female is nearly identical to a female Purple Finch, except larger. As I've only seen the one—briefly
at that—I know very little about them. The images were captured at the extreme range limit of my camera.
